Sixers close out summer league play with a win

LAS VEGAS - The 76ers' final summer-league game had a lot of excitement and no-goes.

In the end, the Sixers defeated the Houston Rockets, 100-96, in an NBA Summer League consolation game on Friday at Cox Pavilion. That enabled the team to finish 1-4 here and 2-6 this summer.

The franchise also fielded a squad with a lot of different players that went 1-2 in the Utah Jazz Summer League.

But the Sixers played better than expected on Friday.

They were without center Jahlil Okafor (rest), swingman Jordan McRae (toe), point guard T.J. McConnell (rest) and summer-league coach Lloyd Pierce.
